GROUNDED UMAMI

OKUMIDORI reveals a deeper and more grounded side of matcha.

Cultivated by one of Kyoto’s pioneers of organic tea farming, it develops calm richness, lingering depth, and quiet persistence.

Rather than brightness, OKUMIDORI is defined by patience and restraint.
Late harvest with bold aftertaste

Late harvest with bold aftertaste

Okumidori matures slowly.
Compared to other cultivars, it is harvested later, developing a darker and more grounded character.

Its umami is bold, with a lingering aftertaste that stays quietly on the palate long after drinking.

There is less brightness, but more depth — like the calm silence of evening rather than the energy of morning.

Okumidori is not immediate.
It slowly reveals itself with time.

Journey #1

BEYOND CEREMONIAL GRADE

THE FIRST PAUSE

After countless tastings, a question emerged.

Why are most matcha blends?

I began exploring single-cultivar matcha.

Each cultivar carried its own character.

And even within the same cultivar,

the expression changed from farm to farm.

SEEING DIFFERENTLY

That curiosity led me to the farmers.

As I visited farms across Kyoto,

listened to their stories, and experienced their craft firsthand,

I began to see matcha differently.

And in that shift,

I realized something simple:

awareness itself was the essence.

STILLNESS IN A BOWL

Tea begins with a pause.

The sound of water, the movement of the whisk,

the first sip—

these small moments slowly quiet the mind.

And when the noise fades,

we begin to notice the richness already present in everyday life.

This experience itself becomes ceremonial.
